in CCNA & CCENT
Hi all. I have passed my CCNA today with 1000/1000.

I am so tired, so I will make this as short as possible :)


What I have used:
- Wendell Odom's books (I have one important note for all books, use your pencil, it is your book, so you can underline, draw hints in pictures, whatever you want.)
- NetSim, but I have found it useless (switching is pain and routing is joke)
- This cool forum, thanks guys.


I took my exam at Pearson VUE located at company which made me job offer before (Cisco's gold partner). Nothing wrong with centre, PC was fine, chair comfortable, room quiet - everything that you need :)

And to the exam.. Everything what you need to know is in the books, but be sure you understand what are you reading, do some practise, but not as blind one, analyze outputs, prefere quality not quantity. Start your labs after you finish theory, so you will know what are you doing.


I have wait some time to be able to make topic like this :)
Next? Sleep! later? Party! So see you guys later.

    Just don't do any driving. Partying is no fun without friends though, so if everyone else is working Friday, just stay home and rest.

    Good Point! Public transportation or Taxi! And if your friends have to work... make some new friends to help you celebrate, and save a table for your old friends for when they do get off work!

    You just said in your comments: "Start your labs after you finish theory, so you will know what are you doing". Is it possible to skip questions then come back to them?

    No -- he was talking about his study method. Read the theory and then practice by doing the labs -- you know what to do, and it reinforces what you read. Then you take the exam and kick its, um, electrons, pixel, or whatever it is exams have to kick.

    Some labs will walk you through the lab steps and commands, and if you just do the labs without reading the books and understanding what the lab wants you do, you don't really learn or remember anything.

    Nope, you cannot go back to review questions on Cisco exams. You only get one shot at them.
